Full Incense vs Black Afgano

Full Incense is a competent incense fragrance that delivers authentic churchy scent notes, but the r/fragrance community feels it lacks originality compared to established competitors like Comme des Garçons incense line or James Heeley fragrances. While devoted Montale fans appreciate it, most consider it a decent option rather than a standout, especially given its discontinuation and limited availability.

Black Afgano is a divisive fragrance with genuine admirers and vocal detractors. While it's praised for its artistry, complexity, and impressive construction, many find it impractical for everyday wear due to its challenging character and the cannabis-like notes that could be inappropriate in certain contexts. Recent reformulations have disappointed long-time fans with diminished performance, and the premium pricing limits its accessibility.
